Mantids are a taxonomical family which certain Mantis insects belong to...as the largest of the families, perhaps in Pandaria they grow large enough that a dagger is needed to shank them.

Comment by Martika

Sadly I went right as soon as Mists launched and it was not there. :(

Comment by Barinthos

Finally found it at 5:30PM Central on US-Thunderhorn. It gave me the achievement Lost and Found as well. Like everyone has said it'll be on the right of the pool as you're facing it. But also be sure you have bag space and do NOT close the loot window or you'll cause the item to despawn and lose it.

Good luck to those looking for it.

I just found it at 7:00am server time on Shandris.It was inside Owen's Wishing Well on the right hand side. I will try to post a screenshot of me standing exactly where I found it.

Comment by ricster8

Found this last night on EU-Deathwing. It is under the water on the right hand side as you look at the well. It's easy to spot due to the "loot" sparkles it gives off.

Been back to this spot a few times since and not seen it again. Re-spawn timer must be long

Comment by Azrile

Ok, I figured out how this one works. Very easy.

You get to the well, if you are very lucky, the dagger is inside the well ( you will see the sparkles). If there is no dagger, then there will be a coin on the edge of the well. You click on the coin, and it goes into the well and you get a 10 minute buff called ´made-a-wish´.

At the end of ten minutes, either the dagger will spawn, or the coin will respawn. If the coin respawns, click it again, and start the buff countdown again. There is ONLy ever a coin or the dagger... if the coin is still on the well, the dagger will never spawn.

I flipped the coin about 8 times ( ie 80 minutes).. after flipping the coin and getting the buff, I would go herbing and skinning the nearby cats... when the 10 minute buff went away, I would go back to the well and flip the coin again. When the dagger finally showed up, the coin was not there. As soon as I looted the dagger, the coin reappeared.

Obviously I have no way of knowing what the percentage is for the coin or the dagger to show up since I only did it one time.. but for me it took 8 tries. The people who found it the first time they visited the well got lucky because someone else had been there earlier and flipped the coin, but never checked back after 10 mins.

Comment by Smity1290

I can confirm that both the coin and the dagger can be up at the same time, so even if you do see the coin on the edge make sure you're checking for the dagger every time still.

Found it today on Quel'dorei, but there was some kind of problem and it failed to appear in my bags after I tried to loot it. Don't know what happened there....

Comment by Elmblossom17

I found this today on Quel'dorei. Got the Lost and Found achievement, even. But when I tried to loot it, it never appeared in my bag. Don't know what happened there. Pretty annoying, really....

Comment by Aynara

I tried the "flip coin" method previously described and found that the dagger spawned before my 10 minute "lucky" buff was done. Thus I don't quite agree with the post describing the 10 minute coin-or-dagger system. Obviously the coin was not there when the dagger spawned, but neither was my buff gone.

Comment by yoshilover1996

Just got this on US-Elune server.The system I used was to click the coin and wait for the buff to disappear while looking for other lost and found stuff nearby (Ex: Jade Infused Blade). After about 4 times (40 minutes), I accidentally clicked on the Made-A-Wish buff, and It disappeared and the coin popped back up. Flipped the coin, and clicked the buff off a few times, and it popped up. Good luck to everyone, and I hope this method will help you out.

Someone previously stated about flipping the coin that gives you a buff that makes the mantid shanker spawn when the duration is over. This is in fact not true. If you look at my screenshot for it further down in this post you'll notice I have no buff and the coin AND dagger are both up. I've also clicked this coin probably 100 times during my rare farming routes and I do end up back there with no luck.

Comment by Lottielot

I just looted this today. I can confirm that you don't have to flip the coin. I visited the well a few times yesterday and flipped the coin, each time returning to find nothing but another coin.

Today on my first visit to the well the coin and the dagger were there at the same time.

I flipped the coin as I left for good measure anyway :P

Comment by Kokiron

The coin on the edge of the well is just a flavor item and has no bearing on if the dagger is there or not. Please stop posting about it.

Comment by Furydeath

Looted and did NOT get credit for finding lost treasures.

Comment by thecardoctor

Once you find it can you find it again or is it only one per account?

Comment by RabbleRouser

For the record, you can equip two of these simultaneously. It will require looting the object on two different characters (since each character can only find these items once), but you can then mail them to any character and dual wield them. Not a bad way to start questing in MoP on your rogue!

Comment by 23artofwar23

Looted it, got the achievement but didn't get the item :(

Comment by SylvanElf

Seriously, Wodin has to be the most absent minded NPC ever, leaving his crap all around Azeroth!

Comment by sivla

I just thought i'd throw my two cents on this item.All the other items in Jade forest I found with complete ease.However this item. I visited the well on many occasions but it has never spawned once.I have tried a numerous times throughout the day, the evening even at four in the morning. It is simply never there,which has me wondering, did Blizzard move this object to another location?

I have seen various other supposed locations this item could be, but it's never at those other locations either.

I could be just very unlucky, however I don't believe so, with the absolute east with which I got my other items.This is the only one left in Jade forest I need for the first 5, any help on what's going on with this item would bevery appreciated.

Is it on a short or long timer for respawn, has it been moved to another location at the last minute before launch and if so, where could it be?

I use tom tom which has been absolutely awesome sauce for finding these items!

Comment by Leilong

I had an interesting occurance with this item:

I knew where to find it, I had been looking for it, and never got it. I got my 20 for the achievement without it.

Using a different lvl 90, I directed my girlfriend to it. I saw it shining with no issue, and told her to get it, she said she didn't see it. I went over to her computer, and sure enough, it was not visible or even there for that matter from her computer. she logged in with a different lvl 90, flew over, and was able to loot it.Not sure why some characters cannot see this item.

Heads up to all you relic-hunters out there, don't let this be one of your 20, because you may be waiting forever if you're one of the random people that it won't appear for...

Comment by lightingwang

I got ihis dagger by two different toon, haven't try to equipe it by a same toonNever camping for it just stoping by when questing in the zone. It really is not a great weapon compare to the other ilvl 450 BoA dagger or one hand weapon you can find that required lvl 86.

39,7 Jade Forest in fountain

Comment by Random0090

If you try and loot this whilst being attacked by something like a "Thicket Stalker" you will get the achievement (if you haven't already gotten it) and then you will LOSE THE DAGGER. It will not appear in your bag or anything.

I have since contacted a GM to have the item restored to me because it is unfair that because I was in combat by a single trash npc that I pulled whilst running to the fountain, that I should lose this dagger, especially when it is BOA.

I can confirm that I got the prompt to loot it, and that it would be bound to me blah blah blah (stupid blizz, we know this!) but before I could press ANYTHING the prompt disappeared and so did the item..

I will be very angry if a GM cannot restore this dagger to me... so make absolutely sure that you get out of combat first, and perhaps this will apply for all the other rares too...

Comment by Gongarock

Just found "not in the water" but on the right hand side rim of the fountain.2/20 5:20 a.m. server time - Moon Guard realm.

Comment by Obtusus

Item level not found.

Comment by bettomendes

i can confirm that is not once by account. looted for the first time with my mage for the achievement, then a few days later with my shadow priest while questing.

Comment by Lilikoi

There is a "FLAG - quest" ( FLAG - Wodin's Mantid Shanker ) for picking this up - so you can only do it once per toon - ever.Here's a little macro you can run to see if you've already opened it./run print(IsQuestFlaggedCompleted(31397))A result of true means that you have it already, and false means you haven't picked it up yet.

Comment by UndercoverHobo

If I obtain this on one character, can I get it on another on the same account, or no?

404 - item not found.

Comment by ejlejl

Is there any relation to this item and Owen's life? I've always liked going there for some reason, and now I've found why. But I wonder if it's just a thing placed there or it has some kind of symbolic meaning.

Comment by 0tisFreemason

Whats the deal with this?

On a new character, this item is never at the spot. Have been looking for about a week now, once or twice a day.

Is it a low percentage spawn rate, or does it have a long respawn time?

Am I wasting my time?

Please no more gloating, it dropped for me posts, yippee for you!

Can anyone shine any FACTS on this?

=== EDIT ==Just checked wowpedia and it says this item is bind to account, not bind to character, so it is possible I looted it on a previous toon.
